Our Story

Hi! I’m Kylee, owner and founder of Wholesome Cowgirl.

My journey to creating this brand started in two seemingly different worlds. Long before I entered the fitness space, I was just a little girl living in an old farmhouse outside of a small town in Missouri. The best parts of my childhood were spent playing outside on the hay bales with my siblings, digging holes in the garden, and fishing with my dad. This time of my life shaped much of who I am today — it taught me to love the outdoors, to appreciate the little things, to value a lifestyle rooted in movement, and most importantly it founded my connection with God.

Many years later, my passion for movement led me to the fitness industry, where I founded The Pilates Ranch, a faith based Pilates and prayer club. Living in activewear day in and day out, I noticed a frustrating, constant issue with athletic apparel. It felt like we were always forced to compromise…functionality or personality? Why not both? I wanted to build something different. Something bold, something feminine, because I grew up knowing you could be both.

That is exactly why I started Wholesome Cowgirl.

Both The Pilates Ranch & Wholesome Cowgirl have been a journey back to my roots; a way of bringing that authentic, grounded spirit into modern spaces. Whether you’re crushing a workout or simply enjoying the fresh air, I want you to feel strong, beautiful, and completely at home in your own skin.

Thank you for sharing this ride with me.

With love,

Kylee Barker, The Wholesome Cowgirl
